b'One of my favorite memories was a trip from Philadelphia to Atlanta tracing the Path of the Civil Rights era Freedom Riders. You will be able to create your own travel itinerary to Civil Rights landmarks thanks to a new book. The U.S. Civil Rights Trail offers a vivid glimpse into the story of Black America\'s fight for freedom and equality. From eye-opening landmarks to celebrations of triumph over adversity, experience a tangible piece of history with U.S. Civil Rights Trail. I speak to the author - Award-winning journalist Deborah Douglas who offers her valuable perspective and knowledge, including suggestions for engaging with local communities by supporting Black-owned businesses and seeking out activist groups.

It may be cold outside and there may be ice on our windows but just around now I go to my happy place because it\\u2019s Girl Scout Cookie Season! Girl Scouts have pivoted their programming over the past year offering virtual summer Camp and other programs and now the iconic Girl Scouts Cookie Program. To tell us how we can get our hands on these delicious treats I speak to Girl Scout Brownie, Sariya Jones, Girl Scout Ambassador Melanie Theron and Kim Fraites Dow, CEO of Girls Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania. www.gsep.org/cookies.
